Watch a raw, uncut session of Cam Richards riding the all-new Mikey February Shorty. This sleek looking thruster marks a return to Mikeys high-performance shortboarding roots. From his early amateur days in South Africa to his time on the WSL Championship Tour, Mikeys foundation has always been precision surfing. Developed with Britt Merrick, this model carries his signature Swirl Hex and has become a go-to for many of our WSL tour surfers.In feel, Mikeys Shorty sits between the Two Happys user-friendliness and the 2.Pros high-performance sharpness, emphasizing the flow and freedom of both. Youll want to size this model as you would a normal shortboard.The Shortys staged rocker creates balanced drive and control, suiting both front- and back-footed surfers with a large sweet spot. A subtle hip near the fins tightens turns and quickens response in the pocket. The high-performance outline delivers clean speed and release without losing flow, while foiled rails maintain sensitivity. Beneath, a single-to-double concave runs from front foot through the fins for lift, control, and seamless rail-to-rail transitions.

ANTOINE MARTIN: RESET IN RUNIONANTOINE MARTIN: RESET IN RUNIONAfter the intensity of Pozo and with Tenerife looming, most riders would stay dialled in among the trade winds and volcanic rocks of the Canary Islands. But for Antoine Martin, a change of scenery felt essential. After months out with injury and barely back on the board before competition, he needed more than training. He needed space. He needed power. He needed waves.And so, instead of settling into another stretch of high-wind sessions, Antoine booked a spontaneous flight for a strike mission to Runion, one of his favourite wave playgrounds. From arriving straight into mast-high sets and pushing his Goya and Quatro gear into the red zone, the trip delivered exactly what he was searching for.We caught up with Antoine to hear how this two week escape came out trumps when returned to the Canary Islands and scored 5th place in Tenerife.Photos: Cdric Bornadel, Charly Bell and Franois Kling!WINDSURF: After competing in Pozo, with the next event due in Tenerife the normal plan would be to stay and train in the Canary Islands in preparation for the next event?ANTOINE MARTIN: Yeah, usually you stay in the Canaries for a couple of months, you know, because theres Pozo and Tenerife. So, normally I try to stay in the same place, but as you know, I like the Canary Islands but I also love big wavesI think it was important for me to get a break, especially after my injury where I was off the water for a long time. I went straight from my injury to competing in Pozo, which is a tough event for me.I felt I needed a break to reset and go to one of my favourite places on earth to windsurf, which actually works in summertime.I mean, winter in Reunion is summertime in the Canaries.WINDSURF: What was the plan?ANTOINE MARTIN: Yeah, I booked it last minute. I always my eye on some forecasts, and I went on a strike mission. I booked the ticket a couple of days before, and I went for two weeks. Its kind of cool to go on a last-minute flight because at least youre almost sure to score something! I knew when I booked there was some solid wind and waves on the forecast!!!I went for a pretty decent swell and I scored as soon as I arrived! It is often like that.at least for the first swell! It is tough to dive straight into sailing huge waves. Hopefully you can score another few swells where you can be more confident for the next one, once you are dialled in. Its kind of hard though because sometimes you have to be at your best right after you arrive off the plane. Literally, at the beginning of the swell, I arrived at 6am with big jet lag and by 11am, I was sailing already!WINDSURF: How was the equipment working?ANTOINE MARTIN: Im super happy with my new equipment. That was really a choice of mine, going there with Goya and Quatro. I had a couple of proposals and that was my choice. So, when its your choice, and you already have a great feeling with the team, it always makes it worth it.I knew the guys at Goya from a while ago! Ive had boards from Keith back in the day, so I knew what I was getting into. Theyre super cool because they really listen to my needs, and were trying to make the best out of it.So now Im in the learning process, because its totally different from what I used to have with North and Starboard. It takes some time, but Im slowly getting there, and Im super happy with the outcome of this collaboration.QuatroGoya windsurfingWINDSURF: When you came back to Tenerife, you actually made the semi-finals!ANTOINE MARTIN: That was such a surprise for me because I arrived the day before the contest, literally with some production gear that I had never sailed with. So, I had to learn how to sail my new gear during the event itself. It was a really big surprise for me to make it to fifth place.And thats always kind of cool, you know, when you dont have expectations and you make such a great result. It came after a difficult season, because I started the in Japan with a second-place final behind Marcilio Browne. And then I went to places that I love, my kind of my style of conditions, like Puerto Rico and Chile and I blew it off and did not do well. It is always annoying to lose at your favourite places.Then I hurt myself right before the event in Maui, another good place that I love. So, it was really frustrating. I was three and a half months out of the water! And then the next event was Pozo, which is a really intense place to start off with after an injury!I was frustrated. So, to end up scoring a solid result in Tenerife was a great feeling, it put me back on track. Especially after I had just been chasing huge wave in Reunion for the previous two weeks!WINDSURF: How was it going from 3.3m onshore Pozo to heavy down-the-line cross-off in Reunion? How do you adapt with the sailing?ANTOINE MARTIN: Its way easier for me to adapt from Pozo to La Runion than the other way around. To go from light wind conditions to Pozo is way more difficult. But thats what we train forthats why we windsurf so much. Its to keep our body fit and to make sure that, no matter what the conditions, we are fully ready for any type of setup.WINDSURF: Do you sail with caution in Reunion all do you go hard every session?ANTOINE MARTIN: So in Runion you kind of have to go hard. Theres this one place called Pointe au Sel, which is quite gnarly. You have to commit; otherwise you cant really do much with the wave. I had to go hard! And it was good, because thats what I needed after my injury! I needed that mentality again and find my normal way of sailing which is normally all-in! So, I was super stoked. I was doing like five to seven-meter-high aerials every daysuper big aerialsand I was just landing hard, hard, hard. It was just intense. It is good testing for Quatro also to see how much the boards can handle. They actually encourage me to keep charging which is cool!WINDSURF: So did you feel like it was a successful reset in Runion.ANTOINE MARTIN: It is always good to go to La Runion because theres still a fabulous community. I have some good friends out there now, so its kind of easy-going for me every time I goI have my routine there.But hopefully next year, I will try to discover some new places around the world and keep doing what Im doing!The post ANTOINE MARTIN: RESET IN RUNION appeared first on Windsurf Magazine Online.
